The 4 hour load test of our new 750 KVA generator in Mesa AZ

This was like Christmas and this 750 KVA generator could light a lot of trees. The load on the trailer is connected to the generator by 9 power cables and a ground wire. Sorry about the audio the camera had some problems. As soon as the load is switched on a huge puff of smoke blows out of it. I was surprised at how you could not smell the diesel. It burned 57 gallons an hour for 4 hours today. The staff at Empire Equipment in Mesa have been most friendly.

@bobbj77 there wasn't any load on that switch until he switched the enclosed automatic one

[mpwelk]

you should hook up with a power company and backfeed them so these tests wouldn't be so expensive!

Is that open bus bars at 0.45, energising the load switch without PPE
